I voted When I Paint My Masterpiece from the Band. Most of the Dylan versions I've heard haven't really done much for me (other than the piano demo). This is totally their song. Second and third from this list would be Garcia's "Simple Twist Of Fate" and Harrison's "If Not For You". Another one that's up there-- that wasn't included on this list-- is Blake Mill's "Heart Of Mine".

I would pick Adele,not just because she is a great singer and does a great cover version, but simply because it's the most successful cover of a Dylan song of this century. Now you can hear it on every talent casting show of every tv station on the planet. It possibly introduced a whole new generation to the songs of Bob Dylan (even though most people don't even know it's a Dylan song).

There once was a austrian singer/Songwriter called Wolfgang Ambros, he did a very, very good Cover-Album in 1978. It's called "Wie im Schlaf"Secretly, this is my favourite collection of Bob Dylan Covers! But don't tell anybody!

People have been tarred and feathered for less

But I admit that it's slightly better than Niedecken's attempt.

Hanns, actually it was ambros who brought me to dylan. after hearing "wie im schlaf" i bought "at budokan". From then I was lost...It is unbelievable was für ein dämlicher, versoffener sack ambros geworden ist!
